We’re always looking for new ways to improve the quality of the service that we deliver to our public cloud and managed private cloud customers.  As networking demands increase, the use of a larger MTU allows virtual machines to transfer more volumes of data and use fewer packets which undoubtedly also introduces an improvement in throughput. 9000 MTUs in all Public Cloud Regions Over the past few months, we’ve been working hard at making internal changes to our networking infrastructure in order to be able to allow our users to have faster performance for their networking and we’re hap ..read more

Cognitive architecture, or rather one of its first models, was created In 1960 by Ed Feigenbaum. This model was called Elementary Perceiver and Memorizer (EPAM) and attempted to understand how several fundamental aspects of the human mind work. From there, how has it grown? What exactly is cognitive architecture now? Here is a look. What is Cognitive Architecture? Cognitive architecture is the theory regarding the human mind, its structure, and how the various components work in sync to manage intelligent behavior in complex environments. It aims to use cognitive psychology research to creat ..read more

Making the right architectural choice relies on several factors, especially the expertise of developers and management capabilities. Monolithic architecture is one of the first things people talk about while discussing types of IT architecture. Here is a look at what the term means and its various benefits. What is Monolithic Architecture? Monolithic architecture is a traditional unified model meant to design a software program. The term ‘Monolithic’ here means composed all in one piece. Such software is crafted to be self-contained. Different program components are not loosely coupled with ..read more

Enterprise automation technology can help companies in tackling their reliance on human resources. However, understanding the different types of automation tools is critical in bringing about the necessary changes. People use a wide variety of tools from writing short programs to cloud-based integration engines to set up automation within their enterprises Types of Enterprise Automation Technology In this context, here is a glance at four types of enterprise automation technology organizations use to create more efficient operations. 1. Low-code Enterprise Automation Engines Low-code automat ..read more

High Availability systems are used in situations and industries where systems have to remain operational, no matter what. High-availability scenarios in the real world include military control, healthcare systems, autonomous vehicles, and industrial systems. Stakes are high for such procedures as they have people’s lives depending on them. However, what exactly is high availability? How do we define it? Here is a look. What is High Availability? High availability or HA is the ability of systems to perform operations continuously without failure for a set time. HA functions in ensuring that s ..read more

Container image is a terminology that is widely used in the sphere of container-related cloud technology. But, what exactly is it? Here is a look.  What is a Container Image? Container image is a static, unalterable file including an executable code that helps run an isolated process on an IT infrastructure. The image comprises system tools, libraries, and other platform settings that are needed for software programs to run on containerization platforms. Container images are compiled from file system layers built onto a parent or base images. These layers allow the reuse of different co ..read more

Hybrid cloud security is crucial while building such a cloud for organizations. They encounter numerous challenges as they develop and implement it, such as dealing with different components and various hybrid frameworks. It is challenging to secure a cloud environment, but it is even more complicated when dealing with a hybrid cloud environment. Hybrid cloud has many complexities, so enterprises must build a security strategy that works for a blend of on-premises and cloud systems. The hybrid cloud model is widely accepted because organizations gain flexibility, scalability, cost optimizati ..read more

Cloud-native applications are increasingly being adopted in recent years and are estimated to play a significant role in the future of software development. These applications are capable of solving some inherent problems within cloud computing. Even though migrating to the cloud to improve operational efficiencies is challenging, many companies are taking steps forward. In this context, here is a closer look at cloud-native applications.  What are Cloud-Native Applications? Cloud-native applications are programs designed towards a cloud computing architecture. Such applications, run an ..read more

Kubernetes and container security have gained a lot of prominence with both platforms’ broad appeal as revolutionary tech. Their ability to package applications and dependencies into single, promotable images from development to test and production have played a significant part in the growth mentioned above.  Containers ensure consistency across environments (or make it easy) and can handle the likes of physical servers, VMs, and private or public clouds. With the help of container technology such as Kubernetes and Docker, teams can rapidly develop and manage applications delivering bu ..read more
